Headaches are among the most common disorders of the central nervous system. Migraines, tension headaches, and sinus pains are all characterized by a pounding sensation in and around the cranial region. Secondary symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and sensitivity to light and sounds. Neck pains can also be a result, as well. The pain level for headaches can range anywhere from a constant dull ache, to a sharp, throbbing, intermittent pounding.
Causes of Headaches
Headache symptoms can be related to or caused by a multitude of different issues. Perhaps there is more than just one reason as to why a person may be experiencing them on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the reasons are endless. But whether they are caused by existing primary conditions, or are a result of a particular lifestyle trait, there is no cure for headaches.

Migraines and Their Symptoms
Migraine headaches are among the most common complaint among Americans today. With over 3 million reported cases each year affecting teens, adults, and seniors alike, the main reason or cause of a migraine headache can be difficult to pinpoint. Those whom experience powerful migraine headaches on a regular basis are considered to be sufferers of a long-lasting or chronic condition. Typical symptoms of migraine headaches include a continuous pounding or throbbing sensation in the face or neck, ranging from dull and persistent, to frequent and severe. Also, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, lightheadedness, disorientation, difficulty focusing or concentrating, nausea and vomiting, and irritability.
Common Causes of Migraines
Since there is such a broad range of people that suffer from migraine headaches, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what the causes of them are specifically linked to. However, case studies have shown that past injuries or spinal misplacement in the neck and back can be a key factor as to why one may suffer from migraine headaches. Other causes of migraine headaches include stress, poor eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, hormonal changes, interrupted sleeping patterns, environmental changes, medications, and excessive (or lack of) physical activities.
